A nonheme iron complex bearing the tris(6-phenylamino-pyridyl)methylamine (TPANHPh) ligand with appended hydrogen bond (H-bond) groups displays facile O2 reactivity to form a monomeric Fe(III)OH complex, which can release •OH via rebound carbon radical. An analogous compound without H-bonds, based on tris(6-methylpyridyl)methylamine (TPAMe), exhibits minimal reactivity, forming Fe(III)2(μ-O)(μ–OH) dimer, also reacts carbon-based radicals. The H-bonding system enables binding and activation at weakly reducing complexes, highlighting cooperative role of secondary sphere units facilitate reactions atypical redox environments.
